Atychiphobia

Ponies

he has a coat as purple as plum
she has a mane as pink as gum
their cutie mark is for playing the drum

one pony has the voice of a star
another wants to travel very far

grandmother said this diary would be fun
i'm absolutely sick and not even done with page one
writing things outside is boring
not half as fun as exploring

there was a spider in our garden and i squashed it
my grandmother says if i write five pages
and leave her alone
she'll give me a bit

my name is sunset shimmer

i can't think of anything else to say
i've just been bored inside all day
watching ponies is pretty great
but i want to go outside the garden gate

grandmother finally gave me that bit for sweets
for helping her fold sheets

my name is sunset shimmer

i like watching ponies outside when it's raining
because at the end of the day i'm the only one remaining
and i get to watch everypony without them knowing
i like them, still i like knowing i'm me, makes me feel like i'm glowing

i don't think anypony else knows that same good feeling
the one that grandmother's yelling about me stealing
cannot take away
her cookies are second best after that okay?

my name is sunset shimmer
i wanna go outside and make mud puddles glowy
bye
